Could be because money is not spent on developing the country
Disproportionate impact on the employment of human rights

Vioence
conflicts or growing struggles
Between different political parties
Unequal political status and power

Tax Evasion and Avoidance: A poorly enforced or complex tax system may encourage tax evasion and avoidance
Gender inequality
If women don't have access to education
Less informed about health care, hygiene and diet, this affects the welfare of the whole family
The children of the family could see education as less signficant
A missed opportunity for improvement of the country's workforce, because as mentioned, the womens' education affects the whole family
Empowerment
With a better education and social standing, women could have more access to contraception, and marry later and have smaller families → lower rate of population growth
Income increases of women in developing countries lead to greater increases in health level of families
